Theres so much to be afraid of. Theres a lot of uncertainty about the future and what's to come following this virus. This will no doubt change so many people's lives, thoughts, and opinions. We're all in this together. Everyone around the world is experiencing this crazy thing. No matter where we come from, what our background is, or what we look like. We have to remember how important it is that we're not going through this alone, we are so luck to have loved ones that are there for us and care about us. Reminding ourselves that being grateful for the present and what we have instead of fearful of the what ifs is particularly dire. The whole world has become one in this weird and crazy way and though it's a horrible thing, there are so many good things happening too. People are helping one another. Strangers helping strangers. The italians singing together from their balconies Chinas pollution has started to diminish The canals in Venice have clear waters for the first time in who knows how long Gratitude for commodities that were once taken for granted I am refusing to lose my optimism, it may be foolish, I'm currently unemployed until further notice with bills and rent to pay. But I'm choosing to spend my time wisely, I'm thankful for @stevewalterphoto he has been absolutely inspiring in wanting to teach and still share his knowledge. As hes mentioned to me, this is the perfect time to really focus on the things that matter to you and push through. I have recently started cooking with @hellofresh to better my horrible cooking skills and I'm for the first time in my life making these amazingly delicious meals. This italian soup being one of them and with a lot of help from steve, we created some pretty moody images! 2 am rant over.
